Put Down That Fork and Read...

This plate setting is part of the Nutri-Plate collection and educational project by Materious.

These standard ceramic plates are not ordained with your traditional floral design or striped trim. No.... these plates are decorated with something much different..... try nutritional and health information! Yesssirreee... swallow that last bit of food and listen up, kids...

The plates come in a variety of patterns and they range from outlining the caloric content of food (such as meat, dairy, fruit, and grains), to the type of exercises needed to burn off those calories. Yikes! Talk about a dinnertime conversation piece...

Now.... look closely....

That might be enough to turn me off that extra helping of Grandma's famous deep-dish apple pie... dammit!

Educating: yes... Motivating: heck, ya... Shock factor: for sure... Leftovers: guaranteed!
